FOR INFORMATION.
The late Ministers review is an
interesting, if depressing, document.
Special attention may be invited to
paragraphs 13 (trade monopoly); 15 (the trans-
Persian Railway); 16 (the Persian Navy);
19 (Persian xenophobia) ; 21 (Taimourtache and
the Shah); 22 (the financial position); and
the P.S. dated 1st July on "the artificial
growth of militarism in what is essentially an
unmilitary country". Sir Robert Clive, in the
light of his Chinese experience, remarks that
"undisciplined forces are as great a danger
as bandits. I have some reason, therefore,
for considering the present state of affairs
very disquieting.

About this item
- Content
Correspondence relating to changes within the Persian Government: the appointment and dismissal of ministers by the Shah of Persia (Reza Shah Pahlavi); the resignation or death during duty of ministers; the reorganisation of governmental departments (both central and provincial) at the instigation of the Shah.
Items of note in the file include:
- A text containing a number of articles concerning changes to addresses and titles in the Persian royal and government hierarchy. The text is undated and with no indication of author, but is presumably a translation from the French or Persian and dates to around 1935, being part of the Shah’s programme of modernisation of Persian society (ff 102-103).
- A translation of regulations relating to the reorganisation of the Persian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (ff 80-89).
The correspondence is chiefly sent by various officials at the British Legation in Tehran (Robert Henry Clive, Reginald Hervey Hoare, Hughe Montgomery Knatchbull-Hugessen, Victor Alexander Louis Mallet, Nevile Montagu Butler, Horace James Seymour). A small number of items in the file are in French.
